We've reached the halfway point :-(

So my triple is down to a double - my roomate Alan has come down with Shingles. I know I'm no med student, but I still feel kind of stupid for not knowing what shingles actually are. Either way, he's been moved into his own room, so it's just me and Christian. But we're going to put up a sign-up sheet so people can come and spend the night in our empty bed. Who doesn't like sleepovers?
Last night a small group of us went out to the Black Widow, a local pub. It's somewhat scary-themed in decor, but the best part were the themed drinks. "Test tubes" are only a pound, and they're about as strong as straight shots. Good times, good times. There was even a machine where you grip two metal handholds, and it sends an increasingly high electric current through you, and the game ends when you let go and break the circuit. Deanna and I held hands and played at the low voltage, but only Courtney was willing to try the highest power level with me. She took it like a man!
Today we got a guided tour of Parliament, which was actually pretty interesting. It's the most ornate building I've ever seen, and the two houses (lords and commons) were so much smaller than I expected. All in all, it was very...British. If that makes sense. Tonight all the girls went out to a gay bar, so I passed on that. I know, I'm no fun.
Yankee game is on, I'm watching it on my computer. It's wonderful to be able to keep up with the team when I'm thousands of miles from home. God bless technology.
A fun couple of days are coming up. Tomorrow we're going on the London Eye, friday I'm going to Bath and Stonehenge, and Saturday I'm going up to Cardiff for the day. But Monday is our midterm, so I guess Sunday will have to involve some studying. If I must.
